IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL OR UNINCORPORATED ORGANISATION 

Individuals or unincorporated organisations are not eligible to apply for a community grant. However, they may apply with the assistance of an auspice organisation. The individual or unincorporated organisation is responsible for finding an auspice organisation, and they must arrange this before applying.

Applicants using an auspice organisation must download and complete the Auspice Agreement Form. The form sets out the auspice agreement between:

  • an individual or unincorporated organisation (the auspicee), and
  • an incorporated organisation (the auspicor).

The application must be completed by the auspicor, not the auspicee.  The Auspice Agreement Form must be attached to the application.
